ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
When the engine is running, keep
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away
from the moving fan and fan belt.
Make sure the fan belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient bat-
tery charging, engine overheating, or ex-
cessive belt wear can result. When you
press the belt with your thumb midway
between the pulleys, there should be a
deflection according to the following
chart.
6-8 mm (0.24-0.31 in.)
The fan belt should also be examined to
ensure that it is not damaged. If the belt
needs to be replaced or adjusted, have it
done by your SUZUKI dealer.
Specified oil

under the API classification of SG or SH,
